The Study in Detail for Meaning and Understanding

The cited example of the translated text in the Chapter 4 focuses on the
extraction of Pāṭikasutta from the beginning to the part on “the end of the first

chapter for recitation” (Bhāṇavāra 1) because the whole Sutta is very long. To be put

in this manual book, then, take the extraction to be adequate for knowing the word

meanings and context understanding of the Buddha Teachings as fundamental

acquisition. After this, those who are interested in further content translated the
whole 45 Books can make a request to the Translator team, who will continue

producing more detail and cover the translation to be contributed for free.

Comparing the language structure between Pāli and English and between Pāli
and Thai, it is easier to study the translation in English because of belonging to the

same language family (Indo-European). For the translation from Pāli to Thai needs

more attempt to notice for study. For translation into Thai, it is done by giving the

translated meaning after the Pāli word right away. But, the translation into English,

each Pāli word is translated with the symbol “/” after the translated word in English.
For example from Pāli, “Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa” to

English “Homage / to Him / to the Fortunate One / to the Holy One / to the Fully Self-

enlightened One /.”

Conclusion

document paper requested to the Translator team or requested from online website
